bareMinerals 11-piece Beauty Surprise Collection July 2015

My Surprise Collection has arrived! A day late according to FedEx, and a day early from USPS.
In addition to the 11 piece set, bareMinerals added two free samples to my order.





The free samples I received are sample size. The bareMinerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara (in black) has a wand type I have never tried before, and look forward to trying tomorrow. The Active Cell Renewal Night Serum has one or two uses in it. I'm not sure what to think of it, but I know two nights use won't give me any definitive results, unless there is an adverse reaction.

Now for the meat and potatoes!

Black Patent Leather bag - This bag is a decent size. All the product I recieved fit easily inside, even in their packaging.


Mineral Veil® Finishing Powder in Original - The website says this has a SPF 25 rating. I'm happy to get this. I've been out of loose setting powder since the purge, and have been missing it greatly.

Concealer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 in Summer Bisque - I've never tried a powder concealer before, and am looking froward to doing so.  The color they list for medium skin tones, so this might be too dark for me. We will see.

Eyecolor in Nightfall full size - This is a shimmering Dark Brown. I have a Clinique shade that, at first glance, looks to be the same shade and color. However, with this being a loose powder, would it be easier to use for lining and detail? I think I need to swatch the two side by side to see how they look.

Marvelous Moxie™ Lipgloss in Dare Devil  - Finally, not a pink! This is a sparkling blackberry shade.
Great, now I'm thirsty.

Big & Bright Eyeliner, one in Plum and one in Charcoal - Colors I already have in my collection.   I think the Plum might be a darker purple that I already have. Looking forward to how they apply and how long they last.

Prime Time™ Neutralizing Foundation Primer full size - Face primers are new to me. In fact the only one I've tried is Smashbox and that is a sample size. I am definitely up for trying this one!

5-in-1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in Blushing Apricot full size - According to the web site this  is a primer and eye shadow. The color itself is a neutral flesh color and I think I can use it as a eye primer.

Feather Light Brush - I've never had a brush like this before. I'm not sure how to use it, or what to use it with. Time to research.

Soft Focus Face Brush - My powder brush is old, so old I forget how long I've had it; 5 years, 10 years, who knows. It has been holding up well, but is starting to show its age when I clean it. Looks like I have its replacement ready to go!



Monetary value wise, the full size products alone cost more than what I paid for this box. Personal value TBD; I haven't worn any of it yet!
